DNP and birth control?

[RubyTearDrop]

Ha, any women on this forum? I can't imagine why anyone here would know this, but I'll ask anyway. Has DNP been known to mess with birth control? I've used DNP before, but never while on BC. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

At first thought I would say no it wouldnt simply because it does not effect hormonal levels. But then again, neither do antibiotics and they void out BCs abilities.

Did you know that DNP can and does cause damage to the eggs?! You are born with what you will ever have, running DNP is something that no female who ever plans or could have kids should do!

This is a baseless claim. You're regurgitating what others have said, but it's completely unfounded. Hundreds of thousands of women took DNP in the 1930's and infertility wasn't noted even once in the literature. There's no reason to think that therapeutic doses of DNP will damage egg cells. To the contrary, there's reason to think it wouldn't damage them and that it may even protect them.

Damn, I was kinda hoping it would kill all my eggs. No worries, I never plan to have children. Hence the birth control, which will be a lifelong thing provided it doesn't cause problems. I haven't seen anything that discusses DNP as a contraindication with BC, so I'll probably end up being a guinea pig. And no, I don't mean I'll have sex and see what happens. If my cycle suddenly starts getting messed up, I'll know DNP is interfering and I'll discontinue.

I would say yes with a guess, given the severity with which DNP affects your metabolism.
I this case I would assume the worst until proven otherwise
